Abstract

An organizer for a medical procedure comprising, a syringe having a hollow barrel, and an elongated cap releasably attached to a distal portion of the syringe. The organizer has a tray having an upper wall, and a syringe recess in the upper wall shaped to releasably receive a distal end of the cap with the syringe in an upright position.

We claim: 
     
       1. An organizer for a medical procedure, comprising: a syringe having a hollow barrel;   an elongated cap releasably attached to a distal portion of the syringe;   a tray having an upper wall, and a syringe recess in said upper wall shaped to frictionally engage and releasably secure a distal end of said cap with the syringe in an upright position, said syringe recess further comprising means defining a plurality of bosses therein, the said bosses frictionally engaging and releasably securing the distal end of said cap therewithin;   an elongated groove defined in the upper wall of said tray for receiving the syringe in a lay-flat condition;   an ampoule having a hollow body portion and a top which may be broken from the body;   an additional, elongated groove defined in the upper wall of said tray for receiving the ampoule in a lay-flat condition; and   an ampoule recess defined in an end of said additional, elongated groove for receiving the body portion of the ampoule with the ampoule in an upright position;   whereby, during a medical procedure, the ampoule top is broken from the ampoule to provide access to liquid contents in the ampoule body portion, the ampoule is placed upright in the ampoule recess, the syringe is placed in an upright position with the distal end of the cap inserted in the syringe recess between the bosses therein, the syringe is removed from the cap, the cap being retained by the bosses of the syringe recess, the syringe is manipulated to withdraw liquid contents from the ampoule hollow body, and, after use of the syringe in a medical procedure, the syringe is again placed in the cap, in an upright position.   
     
     
       2. The organizer of claim 1 wherein the ampoule recess further comprises means defining a plurality of bosses therein, the said ampoule bosses frictionally engaging and releasably securing the body portion of the ampoule therewithin, with the ampoule in an upright position. 
     
     
       3. The organizer of claim 1 wherein the syringe recess is located adjacent an end of the groove. 
     
     
       4. The organizer of claim 3 wherein the syringe recess is located adjacent said ampoule recess. 
     
     
       5. The organizer of claim 1 wherein the ampoule body portion and the ampoule recess are generally cylindrical.
